    Tried the Hx Cleaning Method

    recommended by Genesis (who remembers him?) for the first time yesterday. Fairly easy and inexpensive. After, I ran the engines for 10 minutes and then a fresh water flush to get the salt out. I then drained the raw water side, leaving it empty until next start up

    This got me thinking. Now that I have the system set up, should I give it a fresh water flush followed by a draining after each use?

    Am I overthinking this?

    Mr. Clarkson has his set up to flush with fresh water. You can look through his posts and find. I plan to do that to mine eventually but I have several other projects higher on the list

    Every few months I link to his 2 minute engine test for prospective DD buyers on other forums...... Gone but not forgotten.

    It seems he might have a Regal nowadays - saw some posts from him on another forum via a google search.
